first contact electrode 130 a and thesecond contact electrode 130 b may have a polygonal shape in which vertices are oriented to each other such that a drive force, that is, an electric field, is effectively provided to theshuttering driving body 160. - For example, the
first contact electrode 130 a and thesecond contact electrode 130 b may have a triangular shape. - At this time, the
first contact electrode 130 a at least partially overlaps thefirst control electrode 120 a. - For example, the
first contact electrode 130 a has the same shape as thefirst control electrode 120 a, and thus may overlap thefirst control electrode 120 a as a whole. - Further, the

shuttering driving body 160 may be provided in direct contact with thecontact electrodes 130 and may function to transmit and block a light beam while moving between thefirst contact electrode 130 a and thesecond contact electrode 130 b. - That is, the
shuttering driving body 160 may function to adjust the amount of transmitted light for each pixel when the light beam emitted from thelight source 190 is provided to a viewing surface. - To this end, the
shuttering driving body 160 may be made of a black impermeable material. - The
shuttering driving body 160 may have a structure in which a conductive film is coated on a polymer as an insulator base. - Accordingly, since the
shuttering driving body 160 has no permanent charge, theshuttering driving body 160 may be moved by thecontrol electrodes 120 and thecontact electrodes 130, which will be described below. - That is, the
shuttering driving body 160 may have no permanent charge, may be positively or negatively charged according to an applied voltage, and may have a spherical shape having a diameter of several micrometers to several hundreds of micrometers to facilitate the movement. - At this time, a conductive film of the
shuttering driving body 160 may be made of a material having excellent electrical properties, for example, metal such as gold and aluminum or a conductive material such as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and a conductive polymer. - A driving mechanism of the
shuttering driving body 160 will be described below. - The

second substrate 170 may be made of at least one of glass and a polymer film. - The
quantum dot film 175 may be provided on one surface, for example, the lower surface, of thesecond substrate 170. - The
quantum dot film 175 may convert the light beam provided to thequantum dot film 175 into a light beam having a color corresponding to each pixel. In other viewpoints, thequantum dot film 175 may adjust the wavelength of the light beam. - For example, the
quantum dot film 175 provided in the first pixel PXL1 ofFIG. 1 may be configured with a quantum dot that adjusts the wavelength of the light beam to the wavelength of a red light beam, thequantum dot film 175 provided in the second pixel PXL2 may be configured with a quantum dot that adjusts the wavelength of the light beam to the wavelength of a green light beam, and thequantum dot film 175 provided in the third pixel PXL3 may be configured with a quantum dot that adjusts the wavelength of the light beam to the wavelength of a blue light beam. - When the
light source 190 emits the blue light beam, the quantum dot that adjusts the wavelength of the light beam to the wavelength of the blue light beam may be omitted. - it is apparent that when the
light source 190 emits a white light beam, a color filter that emits the white light beam may be provided. - A
light absorbing layer 180 may further provided on the lower surface of thequantum dot film 175. - A
light emission opening 182 may be formed in thelight absorbing layer 180 to emit a light beam corresponding to each pixel. - At this time, the size of the
shuttering driving body 160 may be larger than the size of thelight emission opening 182 and may be smaller than a separation distance between the first contact electrode and the second contact electrode. - Hereinabove, the structure of the
display device 100 according to the first embodiment has been described with reference toFIGS. 1 to 4 . - Hereinafter, in succession, a method of operating the
display device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference toFIG. 1 . - The
shuttering driving body 160 may move according to voltage polarities of thecontrol electrodes 120 and thecontact electrodes 130. - For example, when the
shuttering driving body 160 is in contact with thefirst contact electrode 120 a, theshuttering driving body 160 may be continuously in contact with thefirst contact electrode 130 a or may move to thesecond contact electrode 130 b, according to the polarities of the voltages applied to the 120 and 130.control electrodes - In more detail, when a positive voltage is applied to the
first contact electrode 130 a and thefirst control electrode 120 a, and a negative voltage is applied to thesecond contact electrode 130 b and thesecond control electrode 120 b, theshuttering driving body 160 is charged to a positive polarity by the contactingfirst contact electrode 130 a, and is thus moved to thesecond contact electrode 130 b having an opposite polarity. - When the
shuttering driving body 160 moves to thesecond contact electrode 130 b to come into contact with thesecond contact electrode 130 b, theshuttering driving body 160 is charged to a negative polarity to move to thefirst contact electrode 130 a again. - At this time, when the voltage having the same condition is maintained, the
shuttering driving body 160 repeatedly moves between thefirst contact electrode 130 a and thesecond contact electrode 130 b at a high speed. - A light transmittance during a mean time is changed according to the speed of the
shuttering driving body 160, so that a gradation can be expressed. - Additionally, when a negative voltage is applied to the
first control electrode 120 a while the voltage having the same condition is maintained, theshuttering driving body 160 is charged to a positive polarity when moving to thefirst contact electrode 130 a, and the position of theshuttering driving body 160 is fixed by thefirst control electrode 120 a close to theshuttering driving body 160. - In this case, the light beam emitted from the
light source 190 passes through theshuttering driving body 160 to be input to thequantum dot film 175. - Accordingly, the light beam having a color required by the
quantum dot film 175 may be provided to the viewing surface (see PXL1 and PXL2 ofFIG. 1 ). - In contrast, when a positive voltage is applied to the
first contact electrode 130 a, thefirst control electrode 120 a, and thesecond control electrode 120 b, and a negative voltage is applied to thesecond contact electrode 130 b, theshuttering driving body 160 is charged to a negative polarity when moving to thesecond contact electrode 130 b, and the position of theshuttering driving body 160 is fixed by thesecond control electrode 120 b close to theshuttering driving body 160, so that a light beam to thequantum dot film 175 can be blocked. - In this case, the corresponding pixel is displayed in black (see PXL3 of
FIG. 1 ). - Further, the
light recycling sheet 192 reflects the light beam such that the light beam emitted from thelight source 190 can be provided to thelight emission opening 182 without loss, as described above. - Accordingly, since the amount of the light transmitted through the
shuttering driving body 160 is maximized, light efficiency can be improved. - Further, since the
quantum dot film 175 functions to adjust a color, an emission angle of the light beam emitted from thelight source 190 and having high directivity is widened, so that a natural color sense can be provided. - Hereinabove, a driving mechanism of the
display device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has been described. - Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
